Bengaluru: Former chief minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda on Monday said he will disown his son H D Kumaraswamy if he allies with the BJP post the May 12 Assembly elections.

Replying to queries of reporters in Bengaluru, he said that he would not approve of a post-poll alliance between the two parties at any cost.

Gowda had on Sunday told a national channel that such a situation would not arise. Stating that Kumaraswamy was resentful of his decision to align with the BJP in 2006, Gowda had said, “If such a thing happens, then my entire family will boycott him — I will disown him (Kumaraswamy).”

Further Gowda had said that he would not allow Kumaraswamy to form a government with the Congress also.

Reiterating the same on Monday, he said, “I had told reporters of the channel that I will disown my son if he goes with the BJP. What’s there in it?”

“If he forms a government (with the BJP), that is a different issue. I will take my own decision — I will not go with the party. If there is a fractured mandate, we will sit in the opposition,” said Gowda.
